Went to a motorcycle "salvage" yard...
09/19/16 at 18:08:14
 
So I went to Ty's Re-Cycle Shop this weekend thinking I might find some rear shocks from an Intruder or anything else ~12" with 14mm bushings.
Place is only open Sundays from 12-3  Roll Eyes.
It was obviously very laid back with about 7 dogs lying around sleeping, a huge warehouse type space and a big yard out back.
I didn't find anything for shocks because mine are pristine and I didn't want to throw something old, worn and/or rusted on my bike.  But it was still cool to go there and just look around (minus all the yellow jackets and wasps swarming the place as they made nests in every possible open tank, muffler and handlebar!).
If I had a project bike going, there are some cool fenders that would be fun to play with.  Tanks, too, if one was willing to de-rust the insides.
Anyone have luck at a place like this getting decent parts?

Where does one go about finding a motorcycle only junkyard? I've never seen one.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

I just searched on the Googles.  We used to have one here years ago that closed.  Had a great name:  D.U.M.P.  Denver Used Motorcycle Parts  Grin

Actually never got around to asking about prices.  It would be a cool SS.com get-together!
